Biography
John was born on 30 June 1286 to John de Warenne, and he was from the House of Warenne, a dynasty of English Catholics. John became the earl of Surrey in 1305 after the death of his father and, like his father, became a general of the Kingdom of England. He was one of those who supported the banishment of Piers Gaveston, but he did not support the execution, so he returned to the side of Edward II of England. Under his son Edward III of England, John was appointed Steward of England in 1337 on the eve of the Hundred Years' War, and he died in 1347.
